Apalling Covers..
Why do bands allow other “Artists” to cover their songs? Yesterday while I was in the pub with Ji-Ho I had to endure a disgraceful cover of ‘Fell in love with a Girl’ by The White Stripes, done by Joss Stone and renamed ‘Fell in love with a boy’. Then this morning while I was tuning in my parents telly I saw Lamar from Poop Idol on Top of The Pops Saturday covering ‘I believe in a thing called Love’ by The Darkness. It’s just not on. Surely they don’t need the money that badly.
Feel free to comment with your suggestions of the worst cover songs ever made.

Hmmm I thought the Joss song was more of an interpretation since it sounds almost nothing like the original. Besides, shes fit… and her album isn’t bad either… I think shes gonna get much more popular.
Lemar on the other hand, pass me a bucket.

p.s. Busted singing Teenage Kicks is just wrong…
